Organisations are recorded in the Europeana customer relationship management system (CRM), where we store the main information related to them, such as, among others, the officialname and English translation, acronym, country of location, and website. Each Europeana organisation entity contains information extracted from the CRM that is augmented with organisation data available in Wikidata, for example:
